Subject:
Silverton, Oregon "Palace News"
This film was produced in November of 1927 by Silverton, OR photographer June Drake with the assistance of Albert Adams, owner of the local theatre known locally as "The Palace." The original Palace burned down and was re-built in the 1930s. This film depicts a number of different scenes of Silverton life in the 1920s. Starting off with a scene of Eugene Field Elementary, with staff and the administration of Silverton School District. The film is not complete, ending less than halfway through, (the original runs close to 20 minutes). Additional details: The football game is at McGinnis Field, the Golf scenes are South of town at a course apparently ran by the Barnes family. The two kids at the end are unknown.
